Today in the 37th match of DLF IPL 2012, defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Kings XI Punjab at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk. Chennai whose last match against RCB was abandoned due to rain will be looking forward for this match to move up the points table. Currently they are in the top four teams in points table and a win today will take them to number 2 just after Delhi Daredevils.
On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab will be missing Gilchrist in this match. Stand in captain Hussey will lead the Punjab charge against the formidable Chennai. Both teams have played below par cricket so far in this league. CSK biggest worry is the lack of wicket taking bowlers and poor form of Suresh Raina. Faf du Plessis is the only batsmen who had played consistently so far for CSK in this season. Kings XI Punjab’s biggest hopes are Shaun Marsh, David Hussey in the batting department and sensational Parvinder Awana and Piyush Chawla in the bowling department.
As per IPL stats, CSK has won 6 out of 8 matches between the two teams and are thus looking favorites for today’s game.
